Nigel Adkins will sign either Matt Kilgallon or Ammar Jemal from Sunderland or Young boys, a choice will be made by the end of next week. Also expect a striker to join and a winger when Puncheon goes. Mills is definitely out too with Preston his likely destination. The Alex Chamberlain saga is set to continue with Adkins and Cortese releuctant to sell him for anything less then £12million up front rising to £15million. Chamberlain did the wrong thing going to the press but the media corrupted him and led him on to say those things. He is only 17 the journalists led him on to say that by the questions they used. Nigel Adkins is set to talk to him next week, I can see Adkins persuading Chambo to stay because he is such a great manager by the way he conducts himself. However, if the player wants to go and the price is right. .

Against Werder Bremen we fielded most of what would be my first team, and we were class. I don't see why we need another striker. I appreciate Barnard and his goals last season were important, but I don't think he's good enough for the top of the Championship. However, Lambert Guly and Connoly are. . that's 3 why do we need 4? With De Ridder, Chamberlain and Lallana, I don't see why would need another winger either. . We have back-ups with Holmes etc. WE REALLY DESPERATELY NEED A QUALITY CB TO PARTNER JOSE. . PLEASE
